Juliet's SisterThis isn't actually about who's in the coffin, but something else that happens during that episode that no-one seems to remember. Jack is about to kill himself by jumping off a bridge. At that moment, a woman and her 8-year old son are driving towards him and they crash into his motionless car. He saves them. I have a theory that the woman was Juliet's sister and that the 8-year old son was her son. I actually don't know why I'm saying this, but I don't think we're going to see the last of them. That's all.

Oh, and to say I'm contributing to this mystery, let's forget everything I just said and say that the person in the coffin was Juliet's sister. :P I actually don't think that. I think it was Michael.

claireI thought that claire might be in the coffin because we now know that Kate has Aaron but it could also be Walt, because Jack says that he wasn't a family member or a friend. But then again I think that Jack would call Walt a friend. So I guess Michael is another possibility, but I think that it'd be interesting if it's Sawyer in the coffin [but if it was Kate would have gone] and Desmond knows it.....that would be interesting but not at all possible.

Did you guys see?K, here is my theory, it is Michael, if you guys check the IMDB cast list you will see that Mike is going to be back, he is listed as a character in all of the episodes so far in season 4. My theory is that the writers are trying to relay a message that Mike is going to return in the fourth season. My guess is that Kate doesn't forgive Mike for killing ana lucia and libby, and for betraying everyone on the Island. Jack on the other hand still feel's hatred for Mike but because he comes back to help in season 4 he find's it fitting to visit Mike's funeral. Now some may argue that it isn't Mike because well, would Walt go to the funeral? Well here we go, WALT IS DEAD. Notice, that anyone who has appeared on the Island to our cast is known to be dead. Think about it, Jack's father: Dead, Bens Mother: Dead, Eko's brother: Dead, Hurley's buddy: Dead.

Anyone else notice......that the coffin is smaller than normal? A coffin for an adult would be 6 feet long or so. If you freeze the screen as the camera pans above Jack, it shows the entire coffin, and it's small. So I don't think it's an adult in there, which totally skews any of my guesses as to who it could be.

Who is in the coffin? Update 5/29/08 - Well, "There's No Place Like Home" has come and gone and we now know who is in the coffin. In the interest of viewers who might be a little behind, we'll wait a little while before plastering the answering on the top of this page
